The FBI has hopped on the iPhone app bandwagon but this app stands out from the crowd because it could actually save lives. The Child ID iPhone app gives parents tools to help report if their child is missing. It may sound weird to fire up an app if your kid is missing, as many would just dail 911 right away. That should definitely be the first action but the FBI Child ID app can be very useful because you can enter in more information (like photos, height, weight) that could assist in the search. The app also includes tips for keeping your kid safe. I’m very happy to see governmental agencies using the latest technologies, as there is real value in an app like this. It’s free, can be downloaded from the App Store here and I hope to see more of these types of services become app-ified. I also Read More

The app gives parents a way to electronically store photos and vital information about their children, enabling them to quickly show pictures and provide physical identifiers such as height and weight to security or police officers in their vicinity if for whatever reason a kid goes missing (which, according to the FBI, happens in America about every 40 seconds).
